RPTL §1590 requires that assessing units post their assessment rolls on their web site within 10 days of filing, or to provide a link to the county web site posting the roll. These rolls are updated on or around May 1st for Tentative Assessment Rolls, and on or around July 1st for Final Assessment Rolls.

Detailed parcel information can be found on Dutchess County’s Parcel/Access application which is also updated on or around May 1st, and again on or around July 1st.

RPTL §504 allows an assessor to make corrections to the tentative assessment roll after processing but prior to publication by filing a list of those corrections at the same time as the roll.

Note: As part of the State’s 2016-17 budget, a significant change was made to the STAR property tax exemption program:

Owners who changed their primary residence after March 1st of 2015 will have to register with NYS Department of Taxation and Finance to receive a tax credit check. They will NOT receive an exemption on their school tax bill.

Owners who purchased after March 1, 2016 may still register for the new program and get a credit check for their 2016 school taxes.

This is as a result of a change in State Tax Law. Neither the assessor nor the Board of Assessment Review have the authority to override this change.
